Biology 12

Attendance is very important, every time you miss class or even a portion of it, you are missing out on important information and it is very hard to get caught up on your own. It is YOUR responsibility to find out what you missed (check this website) and learn that material on your own by reading the textbook. You have been provided with a Course Schedule (Calendar) with ALL TEST DATES ahead of time. DO NOT SCHEDULE appointments or other things on the dates of a test.

Don't forget you will have a final exam at the end of the course so you have to learn and retain the information all semester long. Hope you enjoy this course, Good Luck!
